It’s usually in the form of some material possession that we convince ourselves is going to make us totally happy. Will the new car make our life more fulfilling? Maybe a bigger house? Of course when we get older and look back, we realize that none of those things mattered to the degree that we had previously thought. It was the experiences, the friends, and the family which were the real measure of happiness. Here’s a story that nails this way of thinking. It’s about a man who was stripped of everything from his wife. It would be his daughter and her simple gesture which would put it all into perspective, and would end up saving his life.

Check out this wonderful story and be sure to share it with friends and family.
